The Problem with Reducing Underwater Radiated Noise
If the global commercial fleet reduced its speed by 10%, it would reduce underwater radiated noise by 40%, but nothing’s ever that simple.The main thing holding the shipping industry back from reducing its underwater radiated noise (URN) is not a lack of appropriate technology. It’s argued that many of the technologies being implemented today to reduce fuel consumption also reduce noise. So, the noise reductions could essentially come at no net cost to the shipowner, but there’s a lack of regulation and a lack of targeted incentives, so it’s not being prioritized.A new version
ROVOP Joins ORCA Hub
forward to working with ORCA and contributing to a world-leading robotics research programme that truly aims to move the needle in our industry. The partnership will also contribute to advancing ROVOP’s subsea robotics capabilities so that we can continue to support customers with the most appropriate technology for their operations. "

and to the very highest standards. “We are starting to see strong uptake for our Augmented Control Technologies (ACT) approach which helps clients optimize their subsea production in a more cost-effective way. Working in close cooperation with our clients enables us to use the most appropriate technology together with our dedicated engineering and service teams to optimize the performance of a producing asset over its entire life. “We don’t see such an award as a one-off discrete project, but rather the start of a life of field relationship where our role is to provide

threats to pipelines that can be mitigated by the use of pigging. He will also discuss the technologies behind ILI tools, their advantages and limitations, and the principles of operation and defect detection of both magnetic flux leakage and ultrasonic ILI tools and guidance on how to select the appropriate technology.
